Graduate Program
Information concerning the graduate program leading to the
M.Ed. Degree may be secured by writing the Director of Graduate
Studies.
TEACHERS IN SERVICE
In view of the critical need for qualified teachers and the prom-
ise of better salaries for those who hold degrees or w^ho are properly
certified it is in your interest and in the interest of the school you
serve to further your education. The summer session program at
Indiana is planned to enable you to continue work toward a degree,
to make your provisional certificate permanent, to acquire the neces-
sary credits to add another field to your certification as well as to
enable graduates of arts colleges to secure credits toward certifica-
tion.
Individuals who plan to complete their degree or their require-
ments for certification at Indiana but who have taken work at an-
other college or colleges should have an official transcript of this
work sent to the Dean of Instruction. An evaluation of these
and other credits may be made to determine what is required for
graduation or certification. Address any other inquiries you may
wish to make to the Dean of Instruction.
SUMMER GRADUATION
In the summer of 1957 we instituted the plan of holding a sum-
mer graduation exercise for the benefit of those students who
complete their work during the summer sessions. The summer com-
mencement for 1961 will be held on Sunday afternoon. August 20.
The responsibility for graduation rests upon students. All .students
COLLEGE BULLETIN
who plan to graduate in the summer of 1961 should write or call at
the office of the Dean of Instruction to secure application forms for
graduation. These forms properly filled in must be returned to the
office of the Dean of Instruction not later than June 1. 1961.
RELAXATION AND RECREATION AT INDIANA
Accent on the finest in recreational activities combined with a
pleasant environment and favorable climatic factors make the col-
lege at Indiana an ideal spot for summer study and relaxation.
The very nature of the summer session provides many sources
of entertainment. A notable example of this is the Summer Theater
Guild in which students participating in the regular summer drama
workshop, together with people from the community and imported
actors and directors, will present at least six full length plays during
the main session. In the past these productions have been acclaimed
equal to or surpassing professional and summer stock performances.
Present plans for the summer of 1961 call for the continuation
of the Summer Theater Guild program in Fisher Auditorium. This
college-community summer theater will present at least six full
length plays each for four nights a week. Students of the Main
Session will receive tickets for admission to all six of these plays on
their activity card. Last summer students thoroughly enjoyed the
presentation of "Anniversary Waltz, " "State of the Union,"
"Glass Menagerie," "Amphitryon 38," "Petey's Choice, ' and
"Tender Trap."
An exceptional summer lecture series has been developed as a
convocation program. Attendance is voluntary, but these events
have proved to be one of the highlights of the summer program.
Last summer's series included:
Dr. Foster Grossnickle, Professor of Mathematics, New Jer-
sey State College —
"Teaching is the Queen of the Professions."
Mr. George Swetnam, Historian and Staff Writer, Pittsburgh
Press —

No attempt is made to have all summer session students par-
ticipate in all activities, but the recreation program is ample and
varied enough so that each individual may find an interesting outlet
for his particular tastes and desires. The recreation program has
been developed by a student-faculty committee. Tentative plans
for the 1961 session include many of the old favorite activities of
previous summer sessions and some new ones suggested by former
students.
The entire Indiana area has many places that are of great
natural or historic interest. Buses will be chartered for visits and
field trips to many of these places. Music fans may get a group
COLLEGE BULLETIN
together to attend the Civic Light Opera at Pittsburgh. They may
be joined by a group more interested in professional baseball at
Forbes Field. Several trips will attempt to take advantage of
Western Pennsylvania's rich industrial enterprises. Field trips to
steel mills, research laboratories, and atomic energy installations
were all part of last summer's activity program. In addition de-
partmental seminars will be scheduled with invited discussion
leaders.
Morning pickups in the Dining Hall where students meet for
a snack and conversation several times each week have been so
popular during the last few summers that they will be continued
and improved. Campus picnics and steak fries have also been
popular and will be continued. The Auditorium patio will provide
the setting for a number of square dances. Evening dances and
informal student activities will be held in the new Student Union
Building which will be used during the summer of 1961.
Much of the summer recreation program centers at the College
Lodge near Indiana where many picnics, outings, steak fries, in-
formal parties and hikes are held in a woodland environment. On
the campus proper there are many facilities for swimming and
games such as bowling on the green, archery, croquet, badminton,
and Softball, while indoors the Student Union provides an attrac-
tive setting for formal and informal dances and the reception lounge
in John Sutton Hall provides a comfortable area for cards, singing,
or visiting. Other lounges in John Sutton Hall and Whitmyre Hall
are provided as places for meeting friends, visiting, or just reading
or loafing. Several television sets provided by the Alumni Asso-
ciation are available for student use in well located places.

Clothing: To enjoy sports activities such as hiking, swimming,
and tennis, women students will find slacks, comfortable shoes,
swim suits, and shorts very useful.
Summer activities usually include a party for which a summer
evening dress is suitable. For all other occasions, cool, comfortable
dresses and spectator sports clothes will meet all needs.
Placement Service. The services of the Placement Bureau are
available to all students of the college who receive certification. The
directors of the various departments take active interest in ihe
placement of their graduates. Coordination of effort is secured
through a central committee. The bureau supplies credentials to
employers who are seeking applicants for positions and serves as a
center where graduates may keep their records up-to-date. Alumni
are using the Bureau increasingly. Teaching positions are not
guaranteed by the college, but Indiana's record of placement is
among the very best in Pennsylvania.
